Big on the Basics... at 40.
New year, new thread, new log.
Here is the link to my old log, a disaster area of fuckarounditis, program-hopping, majoring in the minors, running intermediate programming as a novice - basically every sin in the book. Leaving that thread behind so it doesn't poison this one with its bad juju.
I have never been more than 175lbs in my entire life. Here my old PRs: 175lb bodyweight, 245x2 bench, 345x2 deadlift. We won't talk about the squat.
It's a Week A and a Week B that alternate. Both weeks go squat/squat/deadlift, deadlifts are on Saturday because they're too loud to do during the week, things get started at 4:45a.m. when the wife and baby are still asleep. Exercise selection reflects working around certain structural issues that I've whined about here previously. There is ONE (1) assistance exercise per workout which I won't change any more frequently than 4 weeks. After my deadlifts I set a timer for 5 minutes and push/pull a sled around for a little conditioning; this doesn't get tracked or logged at all. On off days I'll do a little cardio, just something to get the blood flowing, maybe just a long walk - nothing strenuous enough to interfere with lifting.
I just turned 40. Stats: 5'9", 157lbs. 33in waist, 15.25" neck.
